Robert Pattinson has shaved his trademark golden locks into a half mushroom cut, half monstrosity. The Twilight star premiered the new hairdo at the GO Campaign's seventh annual Go Go Gala on Thursday, as reporter by E! News.
Author Nicole Adlman of E! News describes the haircut as "a quick flashback to the most popular elementary school haircut in 1998," which isn't far off from the photos featured in the article.
The photos reveal both a side view of the haircut and the back of it, Pattinson to have shaved the back of his head save for a small strip of hair that aligns from the center of his head to his spine.
U.S. Weekly sources Pattinson's girlfriend singer FKA twigs as the possible inspiration for this new "hipster haircut." The article features a glimpse of the new 'do, but is covered by a baseball cap.
And could you blame him for that?
Twitter users from around the world took to the social networking site to comment on Pattinson's new locks, mainly describing it as strange and crazy.
"Looking at Robert Pattinson's haircut before I had coffee was a mistake," Twitter user Kate Spencer wrote in a post.
Twitter user Evxsement wrote that Pattinson's new haircut was not pretty in French, adding a double frowning smiley face to her post.
